Chapter 563

She called out, wanting to go and check on Fang Ming, who looked to be in great Pain.

But Xiao Qiu suddenly grabbed her arm. "Don't go over there, Xiao Chun! Fang Ming is in danger right now!"

"... Huh?"

Xiao Chun was confused.

Yu Muqiu said, "Although... I don't know what Brother Fang Ming is doing, the power he possesses right now is very dangerous for us, so we can't disturb him!"

Since Fang Ming appeared, the other voice deep inside her had been silent, but the lingering feeling made Yu Muqiu realize that Fang Ming's current state was not normal.

If Xiao Chun were allowed to get close, Xiao Chun prevented her from approaching Fang Ming.

As for Fang Ming himself at this moment, he was absorbing the power of the Calamity Demon...

With memory.

Slaughter, Destruction, creating calamity, acquiring despair, thereby elevating oneself.

From the moment they appeared, the Calamity Demon have been following their instincts, creating disasters in countless worlds in order to increase their power.

But after creating countless disasters and Destruction the world, only to be repeatedly annihilated by Magical Girls and Resurrection, the Calamity Demon suddenly began to ponder something.

What... was the purpose of my existence?

It seems strange that Demons would ask this question.

The Demons is born for Destruction, for the power of despair—that's an answer everyone knows.

But the Calamity Demon always wonder... what happens after Destruction? What will become of them, the Demons?

The Calamity Demon doesn't question his own instincts, nor does he doubt his own desire to Destruction Magical Girls, but he believes that Demons shouldn't be born solely for Destruction.

Before the Demon King appeared, the Calamity Demon followed the 'Death' Demons in his conquests, and he once asked the Death Demon this question.

But the answer given by the Death Demon was the same as everyone else's.

To create despair, to Destruction Magical Girls.

When asked what the Demons would do after the Destruction Magical Girls had completely spread despair throughout the World Sea, the Death Demon couldn't answer.

Until...

The appearance of the Demon King.

"For what? Heh, to end all of this."

The Demon King said with a chuckle.

"End... all of this...?"

The Calamity Demon was somewhat confused.

The Demon Lord rested his elbow on the armrest of his throne, propped his cheek with one hand, and glanced sideways at the Calamity Demon below. He said:

"Of course, I imagine you're tired of this endless struggle too, aren't you? In that case, let's end it all."

"There will be no more Magical Girls, no more worlds, and... no more of us."

"That's... all there is to it?"

That's all.

The Demon King's voice was calm.

The Calamity Demon fell silent for a moment, then asked again, "Could it be that we were born to destroy ourselves...?"

"To be precise, yes."

The Demon King replied, "Once Magical Girls disappear, the world will enter a countdown to destruction, and when the world is completely destroyed, Demons will cease to exist, unless..."

"... Unless what?"

"I'm here." The Demon King grinned. "If you're willing to believe in me, if you're willing to believe that after everything is over, Demons will have a new future, then come with me."

The Demon King stood up, walked to the Calamity Demon, and looked down at him. "End all this with me, and then... rebuild it all!"

"At that time... you will know the answer you want to know."

"..."

Gazing at the Demon King eyes gleamed with a certain light, the Calamity Demon felt an emotion called 'excitement' for the first time.

He gazed intently at the Demon King, and finally knelt on one knee before him:

"... If that's the case, I will follow you until then."

"It wasn't me."

"?"

"Even I might not be able to truly eliminate Magical Girls, but as long as a Demon King continues to appear in the future, we still have hope of ending all of this, so..."

Therefore, the Calamity Demon wants to create a new Demon King now that the Demon King can no longer appear.

For example... Fang Ming.

"!!!"

Boom!!!!

Negative emotions continued to accumulate, and the memories of the Calamity Demon were almost shattering Fang Ming's own consciousness.

But at the crucial moment, Fang Ming's skill panel suddenly burst into light, and the Magic Source Skill shone brightly, absorbing all those memories and magic power into the Magic Source Skill.

When it was all over, all the negative emotions disappeared, and all the negative magic merged into Fang Ming's body.

But after all this was over, Fang Ming himself lost consciousness again.

His body returned to normal and floated in the void.

Yu Muqiu and the other two waited a while longer, and seeing that he didn't react, they each moved closer.

"Fang Ming... brother...?"

Xiao Chun tentatively hugged Fang Ming, who seemed to have grown a little, and called out to him softly.

But Fang Ming did not respond.

"Brother Fang Ming, you're dreaming again..." Yu Muqiu realized and explained to Xiao Chun.

After absorbing the power of the Calamity Demon, Fang Ming returned to the world within the Sky Screen.

I sank once again into the depths of my dream.

Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 603, Episode 1 officially begins!

"..."

Early in the morning, in a suite at a hotel in Spring City, Fang Ming, with the beautiful face of the Tsukinomiya Yuki, sat up from the bed and stared blankly at the rising sun outside the window.

"I'm... back again?"

Fang Ming tilted his head and pondered for a long time before coming to a conclusion:

"... So, the reason I woke up in my original world was to give me the power of the Calamity Demon?"

"Xiao Qiu, you really have a lot of faith in me..."

Fang Ming was quite helpless.

Although Xiao Qiu didn't say anything to him in the future, what she did was clearly aimed at enhancing Fang Ming's strength.

She knew very well that Fang Ming would go to support Yu Muqiu and the others without hesitation when he learned that they were going to fight the Calamity Demon.

It was also clear that Fang Ming would definitely be able to absorb the power of the Calamity Demon and raise his strength to a higher level.

This is how well Xiao Qiu understands Fang Ming.

And as described above, although the process was quite dangerous, Fang Ming did indeed absorb the power of the Calamity Demon.

At the same time, the Magic Source Skill was successfully upgraded to level 5.

"It's been upgraded..."

Looking at his skill panel, Fang Ming muttered to himself.

Originally, whether in Magical Girls form or Demon Form, he was only close to the Pillar Rank level.

Only after activating the Shining Form can the Magical Girls's form successfully advance to the Pillar Rank.

This is because the Magic Source Skill itself is only level 4, and the levels of these two forms are closely related to the Magic Source Skill.

However, after absorbing the Nightmare Seed of the Blood Demon and the Calamity Demon, Fang Ming's own Magic Source Skill was also successfully upgraded to LV5, reaching the Pillar Rank level.

Therefore, Fang Ming can also confirm one thing.

That's Tsukinomiya Yuki's skill panel; there was definitely something wrong with it.

The reason for this conclusion is that Fang Ming realized that, regardless of whether it is the Demon Form or the Magical Girl Form, once the magic power is improved, it will feed back into the Magic Source Skill, thereby driving an overall increase in strength.

In other words, whether it's the Demon Form or the Magical Girl Form, it's just a 'skill'.

The true 'level' is the Magic Source Skill itself.

However, Tsukinomiya Yuki's Demons skill level is higher than that of his Magical Girl Form and Magic Source Form.

This is clearly abnormal.

If this issue isn't resolved, once Tsukinomiya Yuki absorbs Demons skills, his overall Magic Source Skill may shift in the direction of Demons!

"Is this why you let me in to experience all of this?"

Fang Ming then understood why Xiao Qiu had asked him to come over.

Just as he had guessed, only by entering this place and personally experiencing what Tsukinomiya Yuki went through, and observing Tsukinomiya Yuki herself from a more subtle level that the Sky Screen could not observe, would he discover many, many problems.

These problems may seem insignificant, but when accumulated, they can become a major issue!

Once these issues are brought to a head at some point...

That could very well lead to a tragic ending.

"Even if I knew about Tsukinomiya Yuki's situation, there's nothing I could do. This world is an illusion..."

Fang Ming muttered to himself again.

This world isn't real; Fang Ming can't change the final outcome here. Even if he knew all this, what could he do?

At most, it can serve as a reference to prevent myself from following the same path Tsukinomiya Yuki, nothing more.

But perhaps this is Xiao Qiu's future goal?

Unable to figure it out for the time being, Fang Ming quickly gave up thinking about it.

Sky Screen Season 4 has only aired its first episode, no... episode 0. There are still twelve episodes to go, so there's plenty of time. There's no rush to figure everything out right now.

But just as Fang Ming was thinking this—

Buzz--!

A faint buzzing sound came from the sky.

That ominous magic made Fang Ming... Tsukinomiya Yuki's body hair stand on end.

Tsukinomiya Ayaka, who was sleeping on the other bed, suddenly opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and looked out the window.

Fang Ming also came to the window at the same time and looked towards the sky.

Sky...

It cracked.

It was a sight that only those with magical powers could see: a long, narrow crack that stretched across half the sky, slowly appearing in the heavens.

The ominous magic that Fang Ming sensed originated from behind that crack!

At the same time the cracks opened, another light curtain appeared around Fang Ming.

The first episode of Season 4 is now airing!

Seeing this, Fang Ming couldn't help but complain:

"You've played this at a really bad time!"
